To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, BENJAMIN G. BARTLE- BAUGH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Wheeling, in the county of Ohio and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Burners, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof. 1

This invention relates to improvements in gas burners for use either on heating or cooking stoves. The primary object of the invention is to provide a burner of this character so constructed that a maximum quantity of air may be fed with the gas fed to the burner, thereby insuring perfect combustion.

Another object is to construct a burner of this character so that the gas will be fed to the mixing chamber of the burner with great force, thereby carrying with it a large amount of air which causes a perfect mixing of the air and gas in its passageto the burner proper and thus assists in producing perfect combustion.

Another object is to provide a gas adjuster by means of which all the gas is brought with all its force in close relation with the discharge of the gas from the nipple or tip of the burner, and which is simple in construction, easily adjusted, and has no parts which are liable to get out of order.

Another object is to provide a burner with a mixing chamber having a distributing partition therein whereby the gas and air is mixed a second time before ignition.

Another object is to provide a burner hav ing a plurality of rows of outlets on the top for the purpose of forming inlet channels for the air to the fire while burning to assist in producing perfect combustion, and by means of which a flame is produced which destroys all the poison that is contained in the gas, such as carbon monoxid all of said gases being consumed and there.- by prevented from passing out to the surrounding atmosphere.

Vith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, and the combination and arrangement of parts as will be more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings z-Figure 1 represents a side view ofa burner constructed in accordance with this inverting;

able manner,

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section thereof; Fig. 8 is an inverted plan View thereof;Fig. A is a transverse vertical section taken on the line l4l of Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is a transverse vertical sectionthrough one of the spuds; F lg. 6 is a transverse section taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 7 showing a slightly different form of the invention; Fig. 7 is a plan view thereof.

The improved burner shown in Figs. 1 to 5 comprises an outer casing 1 here shown rectangular in form and closed on all sides and at both ends, the upper or top portion 2 being provided with a plurality of series of laterally spaced perforations 3 extending from end to end of the burner, the spaces A between'said series being designed to admit fresh air to the burning gas which passes through these perforations, said perforations being designed to discharge gas from the burner.

Disposed within this rectangular casing 1 are a plurality of longitudinally extending partitions 5 which are arranged between the series of perforations 3 and are secured to the top and bottom of the casing in any suitsaid partitions being here shown provided with laterally extending flanges 6 at their upper and lower edges which rest against the bottom and top of the casing respectively and are secured thereto by rivets or otherwise. .These partitions'5 divide the casing into three separate compartments and in each of these compartments is arranged a horizontally disposed partition 7 which is shown spaced from the perforated top portion thereof, said parti-v tions 7 terminating at their opposite ends some distance from the ends of the casing 1 and which are here shown provided on opposite edges with right angular flanges 8 for engaging the opposite sides ofthe compartment in which the partition is mounted for operatively securing said partition in position. said partitions being held in adiusted position by frictional contact of the flanges 8 with the walls of the compartment. As shown these partitions are arranged nearer thetop than the bottom of the casing 1 so that a larger chamber is formed between said bottom and said partition than between the partition and the top of the casing. and hence a larger mixing chamber is provided. These partitions are designed as deflectors or distributors for the air and gas admitted to the comparilment' through cone or fun:

nel shaped inlets 9 which have their smaller ends inserted in openings 10 formed in the bottom of the casing 1, one of said openings being provided for each compartment C. It

will thus be observed that the air andgas which is admitted through these cone-shaped members9 impinges against the hor zontal partitions 7 and spreads outwardly toward the opposite ends thereof becoming thoroughly mixed inits passage andpass'es' up around said ends into the space between said horizontal partitions and the perforated tops thereof and said air and gas in thoroughly mixed condition passes. out through the, perforations 3 where it is ignited and forms the flame of the burner.

A gas supplypipe 11' is arranged below 7 the casing 1 and has an upright arm 12 on whichjis detachably mounted a four-way coupling 13. Mounted in. the upright member of the coupling 13 is a burner tip or spud 14 which registers, with the upright arm 12, the bores of said arm and top being disposed in alinement, Extending laterally in opposite directions from the coupling 13 are two tubular extensions 15 and 16 provided at their terminals "with upturned arms 17 and 18 each of which is provided with a burner tip or spud 19 and 20., -'These tips or spuds 14', 19 and 20 are arranged in longitudinal alinement and spaced from each other a distance equal to the spaces formedv between the openings. 10 inthe bottom of the casing l so that one of said tips will be disposed opposite each of said openings at the entrance of the, cone-shaped inlets 95 and these are designedto discharge the gas supply through s'aid tips-into said inlets, the gas carrying described which the tips 14, 19 and 20 are designed to pass, andfsaid cross bar is preferably held in connected relation with said tips by means of jam nuts 24 to render the connection of the parts more secure It is to be ob served that these tips are provided at their bases with laterally extending. shoulders 25, on which the cross bar rests. This bracket 21 has substantially right angular legs 26 which, are engaged with the, outer faces of the. two end cone-shaped inlets 9 and secured thereto by bolts or other suitable fastening elements, two bolts being shown mounted in each arm to prevent turning of the bracket relatively to the/parts to which it is attacheidr Each ofthe burner tips or spuds is pro;

vided with a: gas adjuster 27 which are eX- actly alike except that the adjuster employed for use in connection with the central nipple or spud 14; is made longer than the others owing to the fact that it has to pass through the upright arm 12 and through the four-way coupling 13 before it enters the tip 14;, while the other two adjusters pass simply through the arms 17 and 18 arranged at the ends of the lateral extensions 15 and 16 and consequently are made shorter. These gas adjusters are each shown formed ota screw threaded rod having a laterally extending actuating handle 28 at the outer end and a pointed terminal 29- at the. opposite end, two of which are designed to. be threaded through apertures in the arms 1'7 and 1S and extend through the discharge openings of the tips which flarev outwardly as shown in Fig. 5 and thus control the flow. of gas through said open ings causing it to spread out into funnel shape and thereby carry with it a large quantity of air which is sucked in through the larger ends of the inlets 9. These adjusters thus have this advantage and merit which is. not found in a needle valve, owing to the factthat by means of the flared discharge opening and the pointed valve end, all the gas which is brought with all its force iIL'ClOSG relation to the smaller portion of the discharge end of the opening in the tip spreads out on passing therethrough into funnel. shape while with the ordinary needle valve the opposite effect is produced, the discharge being in the form of a small condensed stream.

From the above description, it will be obvious that these adjusters are very simply constructed and: consequentlv easily and cheaply made and may be readily adjusted for controlling the supply of gas from the burner tips to the compartments G.

From the above description it will be observed that a burner is produced provided with a plurality of air inlet and mixing comes with plural tips for supplying gas to the burner and with a plurality of rows of outlets for discharging the gas from the burner and which latter are spaced apart a sufficient distance to provide for the drawing of air into the space between the rows whereby a flame is. produced which retains and, consumes all of the poison such as carbon monoXid contained in the gas. By forming a burner with a plurality of tips or spuds, a large amount of suction is pr0- duced bythe gas as it enters the cones and thereby carries with it a large Quantity of air into. the burner. I

The air which is sucked in between the series of openings 3 mixes with the burning gas and forms a thick jelly-like flame which resembles quivering hot lead, being a thick body of fire; and not .a thin sheet of flame as is ordinarily produced, and this thick body of fire retains all the poisonous gases and consumes them without allowing any to escape into the surrounding atmosphere, and thereby prevents all possibility of monoXid poisonin In burners ordinarilyemployed, the more gas that is fed to the burner the higher the flame produced, while with this peculiarly constructed burner, the flame thickens and is produced by the large quantity of air mixed with the gas as it passes into the burner and as it passes out of the burner, air inlets being provided by the spaces 4 between the flames or rows of fire on top of the burner.

In Figs. 6 and 7 a slightly different form of the invention is shown in which three separate and distinct burners 30, 31 and 32 are arranged side by side and connected together in any suitable manner. These burners are constructed similar to the compartments C of the burner in the other figures, and each is provided in its lower end or bottom with an opening 33 to receive the apex of the cone-shaped inlets 9 the nipple carrying structure being the same as that shown and described in the other figures.
